From Vieques our plan was to sail straight to St.Thomas. Sunday, January 5th we left Bahia de Chiva early in the morning, the winds and the waves were high already. We were eager to sail. Instead of east towards St.Thomas we turned north to Culebra and flew with all the sails up 8 and 9 knots all the way.
The first time for us, Culebra surprised us with many bays and beaches. We could anchor anywhere we desired. We dropped the anchor in the Ensenada Honda, from there a short dinghy ride took us to the town Culebra. Towns on any island are quieter on Sundays then any other day of the week (and beaches are crowded with locals), but Culebra was lively, the traffic on narrow streets moving fast, too fast, ferries going to other islands and coming back.
We found a picturesque 'SANDBAR' with WI-FI, and as usual, a beer.

Ensenada Honda, were we anchored, is connected to Sonda de Vieques by a narrow canal. The bridge over it used to be draw bridge, it is no more, only small power boats and dinghies can squeeze under it.
